Return index of another table based on multiple matching criteria with Power Query

I have two tables like below:

 

Table 1

IndexMakeModelType
0ToyotaCorollaCar
1ToyotaYarisCar
2SuzukiKatana

Motorcycle

 

Table 2

MakeModelType
ToyotaCorolla

Car

SuzukiKatana

Motorcyle

 

I want to add a custom column using Power Query to Table 2 that looks up the "Make", "Model" and "Type" values and returns the corresponding "Index" from Table 1. Example output is below.

 

MakeModelTypeCustom
ToyotaCorolla

Car

0

SuzukiKatana

Motorcyle

2

 

I've tried doing this using multiple combinations of List.PositionOf and List.MatchAll, but haven't been successful so far and would appreciate some help.
